CertainTeed Polymer Siding is designed to replicate the natural beauty of wood while providing the advanced durability and low maintenance of modern materials. Known for its authentic textures and rich colors, CertainTeed Polymer Siding offers a versatile and long-lasting solution for enhancing your home’s exterior. Whether you’re looking to achieve the timeless appeal of traditional wood shingles or the unique look of specialty siding, CertainTeed has a polymer siding product that meets your needs.
What is Polymer Siding?
Polymer siding is a type of exterior cladding made from high-performance polymers (plastics) that mimic the appearance of natural materials, such as wood, stone, or brick, while offering superior durability and resistance to the elements. Unlike traditional materials, polymer siding is engineered to resist fading, cracking, and warping, providing a beautiful and long-lasting exterior solution with minimal maintenance.
Why Choose CertainTeed Polymer Siding?
1. Authentic Wood and Specialty Aesthetics
CertainTeed Polymer Siding is designed to replicate the intricate details and textures of natural wood and other materials, providing your home with a high-end, authentic appearance. Whether you prefer the look of hand-split shakes, scalloped shingles, or specialty siding, CertainTeed offers a wide range of options to match your aesthetic preferences.
Woodgrain Texture: The deeply embossed woodgrain texture of CertainTeed Polymer Siding closely mimics the appearance of real wood, complete with natural grain patterns and shadow lines. This texture adds depth and character to your home’s exterior, creating a warm and inviting appearance.
Scalloped Shingles: For a more decorative look, CertainTeed offers scalloped shingles that add a unique architectural element to your home. These shingles feature a rounded edge, creating a distinctive, eye-catching design that is perfect for accent areas like gables, dormers, and eaves.
Specialty Siding: CertainTeed also offers specialty siding options, such as half-round shingles and intricate patterns, that provide a one-of-a-kind look for your home. These options are ideal for homeowners who want to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to their exterior.
2. Classic, Timeless Appearance
One of the key advantages of CertainTeed Polymer Siding is its exceptional durability. Engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, this siding is designed to protect your home from the elements while maintaining its beauty for years to come.
Weather Resistance: CertainTeed Polymer Siding is designed to resist damage from heavy rain, snow, high winds, and intense sunlight. The siding’s advanced formulation helps prevent warping, cracking, and fading, ensuring that your home remains beautiful and protected in any climate.
Impact Resistance: The high-performance polymer material used in CertainTeed Siding is highly resistant to impact, reducing the likelihood of dents and cracks from hail, debris, and everyday wear and tear.
Mildew and Mold Resistance: Polymer siding is naturally resistant to moisture, which helps prevent the growth of mildew and mold. This resistance is particularly important in humid climates, where moisture can be a persistent issue.
3. Low Maintenance with Long-Lasting Beauty
CertainTeed Polymer Siding is designed to retain its beauty with minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a low-maintenance exterior solution. Unlike wood siding, which requires regular painting, staining, and sealing, polymer siding is virtually maintenance-free.
Fade Resistance: CertainTeed Polymer Siding is formulated to resist fading, ensuring that your home maintains its vibrant color over time. This fade resistance is particularly important for homes in sunny climates, where exposure to UV rays can cause other siding materials to lose their color.
Simple Cleaning: Keeping your polymer siding looking its best is easy. A simple rinse with a garden hose is often all that’s needed to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a mild detergent and soft brush can be used to restore the siding’s appearance.
4. Extensive Color and Style Options
CertainTeed Polymer Siding is available in a wide range of colors and styles, allowing you to create a custom look that reflects your personal taste and complements your home’s architectural style. Whether you’re looking for classic neutrals, rich earth tones, or bold, contemporary hues, CertainTeed has a color option that suits your design vision.
Wide Color Palette: CertainTeed Polymer Siding is available in a broad spectrum of colors, including deep, rich hues and custom blends. The colors are designed to be fade-resistant, ensuring that your siding retains its vibrant appearance for years to come.
Matching Trim and Accessories: CertainTeed offers a full line of matching trim, soffit, and accessory products that complement your siding color, allowing you to create a cohesive, polished exterior.
